Their reply to my request to delete my data:
Thank you for your email requesting your right to be forgotten.
In order for us to carry out this request, we require proof of ID to ensure we only action requests made by the genuine owner of this email account. Acceptable forms of identification are,
- Recent utility bill from the last 3 months (e.g. Gas, Electric)
- Valid drivers License
- TV License within the last 12 months
- Council Tax Letter within the last 12 months
- Title Deeds
The norms say after you requests it, they have 30 days to send you a successful deletion of your data or request done. After your request they have 30 days, I didn’t read anything about “validate” it’s you. Only 30 days to successfully delete it, and that is how it went when I did request it.
Yeah, this is how it’s always gone for me before, which is why I’m so taken aback by this company’s demand…
